A few thoughts from my political science classes and experience -
when people value authority more than arguments
It’s probably less about “authority”, but more about the desperate hope to reach stability, and the belief of unstable governments leading to instability, after many years of being colonized on the coasts, and war (ww 2 + civil war).
“Societies can be different”
is a way too compressed term to summarize the points you made. Some of them are political ideology issues, and others are resource issues, but not related to “culture” as could be included in “societies can be different” phrase.
Power imbalance and exploited positions:
This ultimately came from lack of resources compared with the total number of people. Unfortunately this still exist when a society is poor, or have very large economic disparity.
It would be very helpful to also take some reads at comparative governments (I enjoyed the AP classes back in high school in the US context), and other general political concepts to understand even deeper.
